Ireland vs Storm Ophelia

Okay so thought I'd let you tumblr guys know some stuff/warnings about Storm Ophelia

It's due to hit Monday 16th (aka tomorrow). Apparently Kerry will face it around 6am.

There is a red weather warning for Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork and Kerry, Limerick, Waterford and Wexford.

The rest of the country has an Orange weather warning but that can probably change so be aware

There is a high chance of power cuts so remember to get lots of bottled water, torches, candles etc.

Charge your phone to 100% and if there are power outages DO NOT use your phone in case you need it for an emergency. Read a book instead or something.

In case of floods protect all important documents and stuff. Put all valuable items in high presses.

Stock up on food too (Last time we had a storm this bad we forgot to buy food for the house and it was awful)

For people who have anxiety about the storm remember that this is only temporary weather and do whatever you can to keep yourself calm. Whether that is reading, drawing or keeping yourself busy by cleaning the house. The storm won't last forever and I promise you'll be safe.

Check whether or not your school/work has been cancelled to avoid any unnecessary travel

Okay that's all I can think of at the moment but if anyone wants to add anything to the list feel free to write away. Stay safe Xx

I haven’t talked about this much, for good reason. The last thing I want to do is upset any of you, when you’ve all been so wonderful to me and helped me so much. But I have to take a moment to say this now.

I’ve had nightmares, I’ve prayed that my plumbing never had a problem because I would have panic attacks at the thought of inviting it into my space, I haven’t even been able to remember my husband properly without feeling sick. I’m lucky enough to have incredible friends who supported me when I couldn’t return to our home or keep even the possessions that could be cleaned, but I’ve felt like such a burden on them since then.

This is the first time I feel like I have a little peace. I feel safe, and those of you who know me better know how rare that’s been for me over the past years.

I’m so relieved. I’m so grateful. I felt betrayed by our leaders and now I feel sorry for ever doubting them.

Thank you all.

Well that escalated quickly.

Snow

As most people in the U.K. will have noticed by now, it is snowing. It’s lighter in some areas than others, but there are red warnings in many places, including the Central Belt and the South Of England.

Please, if you are caught up in this, do not travel. I know people who have taken nearly four hours to travel ten or so miles from work, and I know people who have narrowly avoided disastrous crashes.

If possible, check on some of your elderly neighbours and try to phone relatives so to make sure they’re alright. Some of my neighbours have been making soup and food to bring around for anyone who needs it, which has immensely helped some of my neighbours who have run out of food because of unpreparedness and can’t physically get to the shops.

Basically, don’t travel in a vehicle, if possible and if it is SAFE, try to help out neighbours who may be in need.

Stay safe, everyone, and wrap up warm.
